Patent CA-2645902-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GOH KEAT-CHOON
IPC: E21B41/00
Filed: 2007-04-05
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method to optimise production of a cluster of wells on the basis of an estimation of the contributions of individual wells to the production of the cluster of wells, tailored to the particular constraints and requirements of the oil and gas production environment. The wells in the cluster may differ in terms of nature and flux of its effluents, and/or mode of operation, stimulation and/or manipulation. The wells may also produce from multiple subsurface zones or branches. The wellheads of the wells in the cluster may be located on land or offshore, above the surface of the sea or on the seabed. The method according to the invention may be used to generate one or more optimisation models, taking into account only significantly relevant well and production syatem characeristics and effects.

Title: Two-pass video coding using a measure of predictive power of reference regions
Inventor: NILSSON MICHAEL ERLING
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 2007-04-03
Abstract: A video signal is coded using predictive coding. The degree of quantisation that is applied is varied as a function of measures of predictive power, the idea being that a picture that is useful as a predictor for other pictures is worth coding well. These measures are formed in a pre-analysis of the pictures to obtain, for each macroblock analysed, a measure that depends on its similarity to a region for which it is a potential predictor. Preferably these measures are cumulative.

Title: Process to recover medium purity carbon dioxide
Inventor: KUMAR RAVI
IPC: C01B32/50
Filed: 2007-03-28
Abstract: The present invention generally relates to vacuum pressure swing adsorption (VPSA) processes and apparatus to recover CO2 having a purity of approximately >=80 mole% from streams containing at least CO2 and H2 (e.g., syngas). The feed to the CO2 VPSA can be at super ambient pressure. The CO2 VPSA unit produces two streams, a H2-enriched stream and a CO2 product stream. The process cycle steps are selected such that there is minimal or no H2 losses from the process. The recovered CO2 can be further upgraded, sequestered or used in applications such as enhanced oil recovery (EOR).
Patent CA-2648869-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TAGUCHI RYOICHI
IPC: C22B30/04
Filed: 2006-11-28
Abstract: A method of treating an arsenic-containing solution, such as an arsenic-containing solution of high purity and high concentration obtained by treating an arsenic-containing substance wherein various elements other than arsenic are contained, for example, a smelting intermediate occurring in nonferrous smelting to thereby attain recovery as powder of a compound of iron and arsenic exhibiting very low arsenic elution concentration. Ferrous ions are added to a solution containing 10 g/L or more of arsenic so as to adjust the molar ratio of iron to arsenic (Fe/As) in the solution to 1 or higher. An oxidizer is added thereto, and while agitating the same, reaction is carried out at 70°C or above. Thereafter, solid-liquid separation is carried out, and obtained solid contents are dried.

Patent CA-2654361-A1 (CA)
Inventor: VISHNUPAD KRISHNA
IPC: A61K9/28
Filed: 2007-04-25
Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a delayed controlled release composition of at least one form of venlafaxine. According to the disclosure a delayed controlled release composition of venlafaxine hydrochloride is provided by a blend of polymers in the core formulation. The core formulation having extended release polymers is coated with a non-permeable polymer blend formed of a water in-soluble polymer and an enteric coating polymer, which does not release the active drug in either acid or base for up to about 4 hours. Upon disintegration of the non-permeable coating the active drug is released in a sustained manner due to the polymers within the core formulation. The delayed release prevents the substantial release of venlafaxine into the stomach.

Title: Filled, baked crispy snack having a high moisture content
Inventor: JANULIS THEODORE N
IPC: A23L19/00
Filed: 2009-02-23
Abstract: A shelf-stable, filled, baked crispy snack which possesses a crispy textured casing and a moist, soft textured filling over a prolonged period of time is obtained by formulating a casing which when baked has a high glass temperature (Tg) at a high moisture content. Increasing the degree of starch gelatinization to increase the Tg may be achieved during baking and by the addition of a pregelatinized starch. The high Tg baked casing permits the use of a high moisture content filler in high amounts to provide a shelf-stable substantial textural dichotomy in the filled, baked, crispy snack. The filled, baked snack exhibits an unexpectedly high resistance to deformation or peak force at high baked casing moisture contents. The baked snack is ready-to-eat out of the packaging and does not have to be toasted, microwaved or further baked, cooked, or heated for consumption, or to achieve a crisp textured casing.

Title: Method of and apparatus for guiding an incompletely solidified metal strip
Inventor: SEIDEL JURGEN
IPC: B22D11/128
Filed: 2007-08-15
Abstract: The invention relates to a strand guiding device and a method for guiding a metal strip, in particular a metal strip that has not yet solidified right through, in a continuous casting installation. Known strand guiding devices comprise a segment frame and at least one pair of opposing guiding rollers, between which the metal strip is guided. At least one of the guiding rollers takes the form of at least two part-rollers 122, 124 arranged next to each other. The part-rollers are mounted on the segment frame 110 by means of two outer bearings 132, 134 and at least one common intermediate bearing 133. To provide at least partial compensation for the segment frame 110 springing up or bending, caused indirectly by the ferrostatic pressure in the interior of the metal strip that has not yet solidified right through and occurring in particular in the region of the intermediate bearing 133 during the transport of the metal strip between the guiding rollers 120, three different means are proposed according to the invention, means which can also be used in combination with one another. These means are a bowing of the intermediately mounted guiding roller and/or a more yielding form of the outer bearings 132, 134 in comparison with the intermediate bearing 133 and/or a greater distance A1 between the segment frame 110 and the centre axis M of the part-rollers 122, 124 in the case of the intermediate bearing 133 in comparison with the outer bearings 132, 134.

Patent CA-2683526-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MEYLAN ARNAUD
IPC: H04L47/36
Filed: 2008-05-01
Abstract: A data packet communication system employs radio link control (RLC) transmission between a transmitter and a receiver with an Automatic Repeat Request (ARQ) arrangement whereby polling of the receiver is accomplished with reduced amount of redundantly transmitted data, such as between an access node and terminal. Upon a polling event, such as emptying of a transmission buffer of the transmitter, expiration of a polling timer, or reaching a radio link control (RLC) protocol data units (PDUs) count threshold, the transmitter sends a polling command to the receiver. This polling command is smaller than any of the RLC PDUs by resegmenting to a variably sized PDU sending a reduced amount of data. With evolving communication standards tending toward larger PDUs, such as in excess of a kilobyte for HSPA+ (High-Speed Packet Access Evolution) and 3GPP LTE (Long Term Evolution), this inefficiency can be of increasing impact.

Abstract: Skribbage is an innovative card game that either two or four players in teams of two can play.  A standard 52 deck of playing cards is used along with a specially designed Skribbage game board. The game is scored using points based on card values. The first player or team to reach 121 points wins. One player or a team of players play crossways and count points crossways (side to side) and other player or team plays lengthwise (up and down).   The game is a strategy game that combines some similar concepts of cribbage but rather than playing hands, the cards are played on the board and scored with cards that are already played either in columns or rows.
